Medical judgment (however it is expressed) is the highest form of visible authority in Canada. It is also the greatest tool of intentional death as it plays itself out among medical providers who are trained to react rather than think.

“My wife was declared as having met with “brain death criteria” , less than 6 hours following her transfer from Kirkland Lake to Sudbury, ON, while under the care of Dr. Adegbite. Withholding life sustaining treatment from an “undiagnosed” patient with concurrent hyperglycemia, hypokalemia and electrolyte abnormalities in combination with a severely paralyzed motor function and who is under the influence of sedative hypnotic and tranquilizing agents is of questionable legality.

For the record, many conditions may falsely mimic brainstem death clinically upon examination, but without excluding them you will KILL a person by homicide, or criminal negligence, despite the reversibility of brain damage, as in this case.”

This is another issue wilfully mischaracterized by the medical community The blacklist in medicine is not a written list. Physicians assume some basic level of honesty among their peers. They do not anticipate sinslike rape from colleagues and the deliberate obfuscation of such. This allows the white wall of silence to be turned into a black one with nothing more than a phone call or a nuance in a referral. Doctors, like members of any normal group, watch out for each other. If a patient never pays bills, or repeatedly files lawsuits, or habitually becomes violent, or travels around trying to get illegal prescriptions, one would expect a doctor who knew about it to warn colleagues.* But that kind of communication can result in blacklisting patients who need treatment. A patient being blacklisted can go from doctor to doctor to doctor without getting diagnosed or treated and never know why. Blacklisting can result in permanent harm or even death and can be criminally illegal. What are the odds of the police pursuing it? Near zero. How is a patient who figures out that it is going on to persuade anyone of it? Where will be the proof? Doctors create the record. And the records are created to protect doctors, not patients. defensive documentation The police don’t even know where to start looking. And state medical boards are run by other doctors to whom this looks like business-as-usual. The very suggestion of having been blacklisted will “strain credulity”.

This is a graph of my appointments with doctors over a period of years showing that every time my primary care physician was involved, the appointments never resulted in testing or diagnosis. I had to leave town without a referral to escape his influence.

It took years to figure out that I was being blacklisted and then learn how to escape it. The moment I sought treatment without his knowing about it, I got diagnosed, and continued to every time he didn’t know about about the appointment. What’s the opposite of patient safety?

It documents how it was done to me and how it can be done to you if you ever have a problem in medicine. Patients who understand it have a better chance of surviving in spite of it.

Overtness

It is not always as subtle as described above. Sometimes it is one physician blatantly telling another physician to find nothing wrong with a patient, to give no tests that could uncover injuries, and no referrals that could help the patient because anything found could indict a fellow physician.

Why would a physician risk his license and consciously ruin the life of a patient? Well, there’s really no risk. Who is going to report it? And who would believe the report? And who would do anything about it if they did? But still, what could be so awful that covering it up would be worth ruining the life of the patient? The statistics are elsewhere on this site about how many assaults, rapes and homicides are committed by healthcare workers each year against patients. Do you know why there are not a corresponding number of convictions for committing those crimes? One of the reasons is that no one in healthcare believes that their colleagues do these things, so they don’t believe they are covering up anything. They simply refuse to find or record the injuries and/or evidence of the crimes. No record of it is created in the first place. And the patient doesn’t get diagnosed or treated.

All it takes to blacklist patients is a hint that the patient might be making a case against a colleague. We patients cannot stop their gossip, and we cannot communicate among ourselves to overcome it without getting sued. All we can do is be aware that it is a problem, recognize that this is an unconscious routine for them, and fight for the right to speak, complain and seek help, protection and oversight.

Doctors are supposed to consider the seriousness of the malady, not the virtuousness of the patient.

Medicine is not like other professions. The consequences for its customers are too great. Doctors are supposed to treat villains as well as heroes, even if treating them enables villains to commit more villainy. Doctors are supposed to consider the seriousness of the malady, not the virtuousness of the patient. But that is not what they do. If you were to go to your primary care physician with wounds received when one of his colleagues raped you, your primary care physician would diagnose you as being crazy, and so would every other physician you went to. When you hear in the news about a patient who finally lashes out in frustration, the medical community unites in diagnosing the patient as being paranoid and crazy, and journalists always accept that without question. After all, the pronouncement has been made by physicians. Why would anyone question it?

The health care industry is a monopoly as much as the water company or electric utility company and has similar obligations. If power and water utilities refused service to someone, at least the victims would know that they had been cut off. Patients who are manipulated out of actual care, or even overtly declined it, are left in a more sinister darkness.

By the way, do you know what the police say when you try to report blacklisting? They say to contact the state medical board. Do you know what the state medical board in Ohio says when you report it to them? They investigate it for two years and then decide that the physician has not violated any provisions of law that their agency is charged with enforcing. You know what provision of law they are charged with at that point? The provision that requires them to send their investigation to the agency that is charged with enforcing that law. Which is the police. But they don’t. And who is there to enforce the law that requires them to? No one.

It should be noted that patients do not have this right. Patients get sued for defamation if they warn each other about medical professionals. Physicians are allowed to talk. Patients are not. This leaves patients ignorant and powerless and further shields medical professionals. When even their victims cannot report it, medical professionals are further shielded from normal inhibitions against acting out when experiencing lust or jealousy or anger or any of the other emotions to which they succumb from time to time.

People in medicine have a habit of mischaracterizing issues like this, in this case by declaring that there is no list or blacklist. Of course not. They are too deep in denial for something so overt. It is not that there is a written list of patients that doctors have decided to screw. It is their nearly complete faith in themselves and each other coupled with their nearly complete lack of faith in patients. Blind, self-serving biases allow them to be unaware of it when they are doing it.

A conspiracy, not a profession…Every doctor will allow a colleague to decimate a whole countryside sooner than violate the bond of professional etiquette by giving him away. – George Bernard Shaw on medicine.

https://paradocpress.wordpress.com/2011/03/02/iatrogenic-neglect/#respondWed, 02 Mar 2011 17:48:36 +0000http://paradocpress.wordpress.com/?p=985Continue reading →]]>Iatrogenic neglect is the term that describes the neglect (withholding of information and remedial care) and abuse (lies, gross fabrications, cruel attempts at discrediting truthful reports to doctors of the injury and falsifying medical records, the cover up: both physical and psychological abuse) that those who have been iatrogenically injured by our healthcare system are subjected to following their original injuries caused by health-care providers.

Canadian and international research has shown that to be effective, health warnings must be noticeable and memorable. They should also be truthful. This one is. Blaming tobacco products for doctor caused deaths is an effective smokescreen to divert attention from the real problems facing healthcare. Although tobacco products may contribute to many causes of death they do NOT rank as number one. Far from it.

TRUTH – is Doctors, NOT Cigarettes, are the leading cause of death in Canada. Recent newspaper articles provide a fascinating and alarming insight into the scope of medical errors in hospitals and what the hospitals do when they are discovered is “cover up” the truth.

As early as 1991 a report found that one of every 200 patients admitted to a hospital died as a result of a hospital error or what is termed an “iatrogenic” death. Researchers say that medical errors reported to hospital authorities represent roughly only 5 to 10 percent of the number of actual medical mistakes at a typical hospital. Because most medical mistakes do not go beyond hospital walls, it is estimated that only 2 to 10 percent of all cases involving medical error result in lawsuits.

A Harvard University professor who conducted the most comprehensive study of medical errors in the United States, has estimated that 1 million patients nationwide are injured by errors during hospital treatment each year and that 120,000 die as a result. In other reports, between 225,000 and 783,936 deaths per year have been postulated to occur as a direct result of a physician’s activity. Prorate those figures with Canada’s population and the results are staggering.

According to Health Canada, “Each year, the equivalent of a small city dies from tobacco use”. Also know that the Government subsidizes tobacco growers, if the truth be known. However, it can also be said that each year, the equivalent of a mid-size city dies from medical stupidity. In fact, our doctors will kill you before the damned cigarettes will. The fact that many of these victims so happen to be smokers is not germane. Blaming cigarettes or tobacco is like blaming guns for murder, blaming cars for accidents, or blaming helicopters for stray cattle.

TRUTH is – Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a disease spreading quickly due to increases in levels of air pollution. Outdoor air pollution is largely and increasingly a consequence of the combustion of fossil fuels for transport, power generation and other human activities. Combustion processes produce a complex mixture of pollutants that comprises both primary emissions, such as diesel soot particles and lead, and the products of atmospheric transformation, such as ozone and sulfate particles formed from the burning of sulfur-containing fuel, also notable for contributing to the very same diseases alleged from smoking and tobacco use.

Just think of how much brake dust you breath in following the car or truck in front of you.

“By the early 20th Century almost one in every two people smoked, but the incidence of lung cancer remained so low that it was almost immeasurable. Then something extraordinary happened on July 16, 1945: a terrifying cataclysmic event that would eventually cause western governments to distort the perception of smoking forever?” – Smoking Helps Protect Against Lung Cancer – Chemtrail

What happened on July 16, 1945 was the first Atmospheric Atomic testing. Not many people know the particle radioactive half-life of Atomic particles is a minimum of 50,000 years. These particles are still in the atmosphere.

“One hundred and forty-nine atomic bombs have exploded over American soil. No one knows how many people, if any, these bombs have killed. The initial heat and shock of the explosions probably killed no one. Open-air atomic explosions, however, have more lasting and distant effects. They create and release tremendous amounts of highly dangerous radioactive materials. Radiation causes cancer, leukemia, cardiovascular problems, cataracts, immunological weakness, genetic defects, pre-natal problems, mental retardation, and many other problems. Any deaths caused by radiation normally occur only years or decades later. Estimates of deaths worldwide from American, Soviet, British, French and Chinese nuclear tests range from something near zero to several million”. – Nuclear Testing

A Star investigation examined hundreds of boxes of forestry documents and found the provincial government began experimenting with a powerful hormone-based chemical called 2,4,5-T — the dioxin-laced component of Agent Orange — in Hearst, Ont., in 1957.

Cancer-causing toxins used to strip the jungles of Vietnam were also employed to clear massive plots of Crown land in Northern Ontario, government documents obtained by the Toronto Star reveal.

Place The Blame For Most Death and Disease Where It Belongs – On Scientific Misconduct, including Government and Medical Stupidity! And don’t forget to blame your Government for allowing it to get out of control to the point where they now have to assign blame on tobacco products in order to cover-up their misadventures.

The fundamental social value of respect for life has become debased. Patients may now come to think of their doctors/nurses as executioners. The elderly and the vulnerable are at a high risk of merciless killing.

The medical profession is notorious for protecting its own, which, all things being equal, is admirable, but all things are not equal. Tens of thousands of patients die every year at the hands of bad doctors while their colleagues look the other way in a conspiracy of silence. The public response to the doctors and their demands should be an unrelenting demand for medical truth, and for STRICT criminal accountability.

The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) is the self-regulating body for the province’s medical profession. This system of self-regulation is based on the premise that the College must act first and foremost in the interest of the public. This however, couldn’t be further from the truth.

Professional self-regulation is a “partnership” with Government that presumably enables a profession to regulate its members activities in the best interest of public safety and protection. With the privilege of self-regulation comes considerable responsibility. However, medical disciplinary bodies tend to be secretive (or, at the very least, not enthusiastically transparent), bureaucratic, slow-moving and excessively forgiving.

“Right now, we have an inappropriate tolerance for aberrant conduct and deviant practice, and a culture of deference for doctors that serves us poorly “. – The Globe

If moral dispositions are internal constraints on a person’s real goal of pursuing his/her self-interest, he/she will be keen to self-servingly gather, avoid, and interpret relevant evidence, for the purpose of relaxing this constraint and pursuing his/her self interest. This is especially true of the CPSO, which gives rise to self-serving biases in moral reasoning. Self regulation in our corrupt time is a failed duty.

Only 1 per cent of complaints investigated by the college trigger a public disciplinary hearing.

CPSO Protects Physicians Not the Public, Says Expert

“The current system [self-regulation] actually safeguards the professionals at the expense of the public.” says George Belza, a consultant who conducted a York University seminar on the ethics of self-regulation.

CPSO Policy Protects Physicians Identity and Keeps Public Uninformed

These measures prevent the names of physicians involved in the complaint from being made public. By deviating from discipline, the CPSO ensures that secrecy surrounds the outcome of these complaints. Consequently, the public cannot make informed decisions when selecting physicians. – VoHCA – KPMG SURVEY Page

In May of 2001, “The Toronto Star began undertaking a serious investigation into the College and exposed that 99% of all complaints are either dismissed or handled in secrecy.”

“My experience with this system is that this agency is totally corrupt, and involved in massive coverups… The investigators who handle the complaints for the College of Physicians and Surgeons are either uninformed, ignorant or criminal in their investigations.”

“Isn’t self regulation beautiful especially when you can make all the rules and selectively enforce them?” – Forum windsorlive.com

“Historically, selective enforcement is recognized as a sign of tyranny, and an abuse of power, because it violates rule of law, allowing men to apply justice only when they choose. Aside from this being inherently unjust, it almost inevitably must lead to favoritism and extortion, with those empowered to choose being able to help their friends, take bribes, and threaten those they desire favors from”. – Selective enforcement – Wikipedia

Get the FACTS:

Hunger and thirst, starvation and dehydration-ugly words to most of us, bringing images of tormenting weakness, agonizing muscle spasms, the ultimate cannibalism as the body devours itself to stay alive. Yet, hospitals do it all the time, and more.

“Imagine lying in some government-run hospital, or nursing home many years from now. Imagine languishing unattended for days in soiled sheets, suffering from hunger and thirst, covered with bed sores, your flesh aboil with untreated infections. Imagine living in fear of resentful, underpaid health aides who take out their anger on you and abuse you. And imagine spending your final moments on earth in the company of a government health care worker with a syringe, who injects you with a lethal cocktail.” – Whistleblower

“Caregiver serial killers probably may be responsible for more deaths each year than the transient sexual psychopath serial killers that receive much more public attention. Nevertheless, there has been little serious work profiling this group of murderers.”

The University of Alberta Abuse & Disability project is currently initiating a project to study this group.
